No i think those on massive salaries who pay very little tax and there are those everywhere who are not paying their fair share should be reported. I think politicians who or anyone who takes bribes should be jailed. I think a ceiling should be put on salaries. Nobody needs nor deserves more than $150,000 a year. If this ceiling helped to create employment further down , it would be worth it. I think people should pull together and decisions should be made for the benefit of all not just the rich. But sadly governments are too pusillanimous, look it up if you dont understand, to confront the inequality in our society in a real way kevin

Those that don't arent worth the breath it takes to argue it. I have NEVER had anyone on here give me crap b/c I am on disability or due to my disabilities themselves. Those that do, its simple. I hide them. They aren't worth the effert to argue with.

The only problem with that Hibi is that people will misuse it and those who are on disability and SSI already face enough discrimination and BS. I think the resources need to be made more readily available to those receiving these benifits not hidden away.

Ditto to this and what VirginPotty said. I want to see a detailed list of all the CORPORATE welfare whores. That's one list the public needs to see and study............luci

I went to the pennlive.com link to see the actual original post. It truly amazes me How intelligent supposedly up on things people, actually think that their Tax Dollars has anything to do with anyone else drawing Social Security Disablity Benefits. Social Security Disablity Benefits...which is Social Security... Is based and paid out to the ones that have paid Social Security. It's not a hand out, it's not a Federal or State Aid program...It's not from Tax Dollars. Nobody has every paid a dime of anyone else's Social Security Disablity Benefits, that's not how it works. It comes from the Money they have Paid into Social Security, and the amount they recieve is dictated by how much they have paid in. It's nothing like Welfare, or any other program. It is not the same as SSI either.

tsatske -> RE: Should welfare people be made public? (7/14/2010 7:15:01 PM)
I recieve a pension from the federal goverment, because my first husband (I'm a widow) was a civil servant. there are people who consider that goverment aid. There are people who have no problem when the goverment deals with a stale mate on budget issues by freezing civil servants pay checks. they are thinking congressmen - trust me, congress makes itself exempt from such freezes. Instead, think teachers, nurses and garbage men. real people working just as hard for their checks as anyone else in America. the attitude some people take towards people who 'get their money from the goverment' amazes me. and although I personally have nothing but compassion for people who have to make ends meet on food stamps, for those less compassionate, I like to remind people to remeber, next time the person in front of you pays their grocery bill with food stamps. that all foster parents recieve food stamps as part of their compensation.

And you're on it, mccreamy. [;)] To answer pah: hell no. But I DO like lucy's idea of putting the corporate welfare ho's feet to the fire.

Daddysredhead -> RE: Should welfare people be made public? (7/15/2010 7:24:39 AM)
I like that idea, too, Level. Oh and if we want to get all invasive, how about, we put a list of celebrities, etc. who haven't paid their taxes or filed taxes in years and years? [;)]

WinsomeDefiance -> RE: Should welfare people be made public? (7/15/2010 7:45:48 AM)
I didn't read the article. I have a hard limit against inflicting stupidity on myself. Seriously, I doubt that any arrogant, ignorant sumbitch could shame and beat me up worse than I do myself. Fuck. This shit really pisses me off. This is how pretty much the last 13 or so years of my life went. Wake up in the morning and mostly crawl to the shower because it hurts to much to walk. Sit in the bathtub under a hot shower until the pain dulled enough so I could stand up. Get ready for work. Cry on the way to work, because I hurt so bad and felt so tired and fatigued. Put my make-up and a smile on in the car. Naps at lunch, to make it through the day. Drive home crying because the pain is worse, pick up my kids, take them to whatever game/practice/event they needed to be at. Cook dinner, clean house, do dishes, help with homework. Go to school to work on my degree come home, do my homework sleep Get up, do it all over again Check into the hospital on Friday after work, because my kidneys were shutting down. Check out of the hospital on Monday, and make it to work on time. repeat daily routine, until damn sheer determination just won't get me up any more. go from working 80 hours a week, to 60, to 40, to 30 to 20 over the years as my ability to push myself wanes. Finally, accept that I'm fucking too sick to get out of bed. Apply for disability - receive it within 4 months of applying. Beat myself up because I'm now a leach on society. fuck..this shit pisses me off. If anyone wants to put my name on list, fuck them. I doubt they can beat me up or shame me any better.

No, of course they shouldn't. Surely such a scheme strikes you as the NWO conspiracy preparing a deathlist, pa?

-- A message board might be - statistically more people on some type of program. I am glad that we have some privacy laws. I know my state has done things to stop any fraud. -- I am not sure what a list would solve. Gosh one year I even tried to report someone- but since I did not have the SSN- I got no where.
